Vanitas Mundanorum



Today, Spy Wednesday, is the day of Judas' treason. Judas' pusillanimous sycophancy reminded me of a footnote in the Douay Rheims Bible on the weakness and futility of worldly pursuits:


Psalm 89:9b "Our years shall be considered as a spider..."








"As a spider. As frail and weak as a spider's web; and miserable withal, whilst like a spider we spend our bowels in weaving webs to catch flies."
